Hey Family,

That excuse is ok. Now heres my excuse for e-mailing on wednesday. We had
our temple day last wednesday so they switched our p-day from monday to
wednesday. Yes I did finally get my christmas package out of the mail box. I
was wearing my new ski socks when i strained my ankle. I did tell you mom
when I called on christmas. Yeah the weather has been crazy up here and I
don't pay attention to the sun mom so I don't know when it comes up or goes
down. The teaching is going well. We are having a wedding and a baptism on
Saturday. No Anastasia and her daughters haven't gotten baptized yet. We're
hoping that her surgery goes good and she'll be baptized soon. No we haven't
seen the Zollingers. Is Joseph Blake Zollinger his full name? Yeah its going
to be my 6 month mark on Friday. I can't believe it. No I don't need anymore
thermal garments. Eagle River is more of a city. Its different from
Sterling. Yes we're living in an apartment. Transfers are next week. So I
don't know if I'm staying or going. my guess is that I'm staying. I love you
and miss you.

All my love,

Hey Family,

No e-mail from you this week. That makes me sad. Things are going good
here. I finally joined the rest of you with bad ankles. I sprained my ankle
last thursday playing basketball. The funny part about it was that we had
zone conference the very next day. But don't worry about it. I have alot of
fun hopping around on one foot. and seeing how you didn't send me an e-mail
this week. I don't know what else to talk about so. I love you all and miss
you too.

All my Love,
Elder Cody Lee Hoffman

Hey Fam,

I'm doing good. Yes it has warmed up a little bit. I've stuck my head out
the window of our car at -27. It was Cool! There was no baptism on Saturday.
Anastasia was sick so her and her daughters didn't. But we're planning on
next weekend hopefully. I don't know much about them. My companions are an
interesting pair. Elder Opaco is happy he's going home, but he's sad too.
Cause he likes being a missionary. I can't remember where he said he was
from. I think it is Blake Zollinger! Yeah he's not active. The work has been
going good. We have two more potential baptisms. The people are crazy. I've
tried duck egg. It was nasty. I've also tried vietmins food. It was good. No
I have not seen the Northern Lights. Tell Grandma and Grandpa thank you for the letter they sent me. Tell them I'll try to write back as soon as possible. Oh I have a few questions. Who is the kid stacy is dating from Ogden and where are my
picture of her at the school dances? Oh I have the package that you sent me
finally, but theres one problem. Its stuck in the stupid mail box and the
key doesn't work. And its been in there for over a week. Oh well we'll just
have to blow up the box to get it out. JK. I love you all and miss you.

All my love,

Hey Family,

I'm doing great. Christmas and New Years were awesome. The teaching is
going good. We're having a baptism this Saturday. Three people are getting
baptized. So that puts my total baptisms up to 7. So thats awesome. The
weather up here has been around -28 to -10. So yeah its really cold. And no
I'm not trying to get use to it. But its kind of hard when your standing out
in it all day. When is Marks Birthday again? I always forget. Oh mom that
address I sent you last p-day is wrong. Its
16929 Coronado St. Apt #4. Sorry I was one number off. I don't know what else to say so send my some more questions and I'll try to answer them. I love and miss you all.

All my love,

Hey Family,

It was good to hear your voices too. Mom the package probably was there on
the 20th but we didn't check the mail til the 22nd. So the package was
there. Just the post office didn't open til 9:00 and we checked at 8:00.
Tell everyone hi for me. I might have found a relitive of the zollingers in
my ward. The new ward is interesting. I'm in a richer area of the mission.
They're always asking us if we need and thing and giving us tons of food. My
new companions are really awesome. Elder Gause is from Orom, Utah and Elder
Opaco is from the philipians. They're really fun guys. We have lots of fun
together. We play lots of phase 10. And we play tons of basketball and
dodgeball with the ward. No mom i don't remember the bad snow storm on
valentines day. I love you all and miss you too.

All my love,

Hey Family,

I'm doing good. Transfers are next week. I'll find out on Saturday where I'm going. I haven't gotten any package that has twelve days of christmas in it. But I did get a package that had a tape recorder in it. We haven't checked the mail in a week so it might be there. We just moved out of the members house who we were staying with. Right now we're staying with the senior missionary couple for a little while. Zone Conference was good. It was my third zone conference while out here on my mission. I'm going to be sending some packages home. They aren't christmas presents. I just have to much stuff so i'm sending some of it home. I love you and miss you.

All my love,

Elder Cody Lee Hoffman
